15-Lipoxygenase worsens renal fibrosis, inflammation, and metabolism in a murine model of ureteral obstruction
(American Physiological Society, 2022) Montford, John R.; Bauer, Colin; Rahkola, Jeremy; Reisz, Julie A.; Floyd, Deanna; Hopp, Katharina; Soranno, Danielle E.; Klawitter, Jelena; Weiser-Evans, Mary C. M.; Nemenoff, Raphael; Faubel, Sarah; Furgeson, Seth B.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
15-Lipoxygenase (15-LO) is a nonheme iron-containing dioxygenase that has both pro- and anti-inflammatory roles in many tissues and disease states. 15-LO is thought to influence macrophage phenotype, and silencing 15-LO reduces fibrosis after acute inflammatory triggers. The goal of the present study was to determine whether altering 15-LO expression influences inflammation and fibrogenesis in a murine model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). C57BL/6J mice, 15-LO knockout (Alox15-/-) mice, and 15-LO transgenic overexpressing (15LOTG) mice were subjected UUO, and kidneys were analyzed at 3, 10, and 14 days postinjury. Histology for fibrosis, inflammation, cytokine quantification, flow cytometry, and metabolomics were performed on injured tissues and controls. PD146176, a specific 15-LO inhibitor, was used to complement experiments involving knockout animals. Compared with wild-type animals undergoing UUO, Alox15-/- mouse kidneys had less proinflammatory, profibrotic message along with less fibrosis and macrophage infiltration. PD146176 inhibited 15-LO and resulted in reduced fibrosis and macrophage infiltration similar to Alox15-/- mice. Flow cytometry revealed that Alox15-/- UUO-injured kidneys had a dynamic change in macrophage phenotype, with an early blunting of CD11bHiLy6CHi "M1" macrophages and an increase in anti-inflammatory CD11bHiLy6CInt "M2c" macrophages and reduced expression of the fractalkine receptor chemokine (C-X3-C motif) receptor 1. Many of these findings were reversed when UUO was performed on 15LOTG mice. Metabolomics analysis revealed that wild-type kidneys developed a glycolytic shift postinjury, while Alox15-/- kidneys exhibited increased oxidative phosphorylation. In conclusion, 15-LO manipulation by genetic or pharmacological means induces dynamic changes in the inflammatory microenvironment in the UUO model and appears to be critical in the progression of UUO-induced fibrosis. NEW & NOTEWORTHY: 15-Lipoxygenase (15-LO) has both pro- and anti-inflammatory functions in leukocytes, and its role in kidney injury and repair is unexplored. Our study showed that 15-LO worsens inflammation and fibrosis in a rodent model of chronic kidney disease using genetic and pharmacological manipulation. Silencing 15-LO promotes an increase in M2c-like wound-healing macrophages in the kidney and alters kidney metabolism globally, protecting against anaerobic glycolysis after injury.
Acute Kidney Injury and Fluid Overload in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
(Springer, 2019-12) Carlisle, Michael A.; Soranno, Danielle E.; Basu, Rajit K.; Gist, Katja M.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Purpose of review: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload affect a large number of children undergoing cardiac surgery, and confers an increased risk for adverse complications and outcomes including death. Survivors of AKI suffer long-term sequelae. The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the short and long-term impact of cardiac surgery associated AKI and fluid overload, currently available tools for diagnosis and risk stratification, existing management strategies, and future management considerations. Recent findings: Improved risk stratification, diagnostic prediction tools and clinically available early markers of tubular injury have the ability to improve AKI-associated outcomes. One of the major challenges in diagnosing AKI is the diagnostic imprecision in serum creatinine, which is impacted by a variety of factors unrelated to renal disease. In addition, many of the pharmacologic interventions for either AKI prevention or treatment have failed to show any benefit, while peritoneal dialysis catheters, either for passive drainage or prophylactic dialysis may be able to mitigate the detrimental effects of fluid overload. Summary: Until novel risk stratification and diagnostics tools are integrated into routine practice, supportive care will continue to be the mainstay of therapy for those affected by AKI and fluid overload after pediatric cardiac surgery. A viable series of preventative measures can be taken to mitigate the risk and severity of AKI and fluid overload following cardiac surgery, and improve care.
Acute Kidney Injury Defined by Fluid-Corrected Creatinine in Premature Neonates
(American Medical Association, 2023-08-01) Starr, Michelle C.; Griffin, Russell L.; Harer, Matthew W.; Soranno, Danielle E.; Gist, Katja M.; Segar, Jeffrey L.; Menon, Shina; Gordon, Lindsey; Askenazi, David J.; Selewski, David T.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Importance: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and disordered fluid balance are common in premature neonates; a positive fluid balance dilutes serum creatinine, and a negative fluid balance concentrates serum creatinine, both of which complicate AKI diagnosis. Correcting serum creatinine for fluid balance may improve diagnosis and increase diagnostic accuracy for AKI. Objective: To determine whether correcting serum creatinine for fluid balance would identify additional neonates with AKI and alter the association of AKI with short-term and long-term outcomes. Design, setting, and participants: This study was a post hoc cohort analysis of the Preterm Erythropoietin Neuroprotection Trial (PENUT), a phase 3, randomized clinical trial of erythropoietin, conducted at 19 academic centers and 30 neonatal intensive care units in the US from December 2013 to September 2016. Participants included extremely premature neonates born at less than 28 weeks of gestation. Data analysis was conducted in December 2022. Exposure: Diagnosis of fluid-corrected AKI during the first 14 postnatal days, calculated using fluid-corrected serum creatinine (defined as serum creatinine multiplied by fluid balance [calculated as percentage change from birth weight] divided by total body water [estimated 80% of birth weight]). Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was invasive mechanical ventilation on postnatal day 14. Secondary outcomes included death, hospital length of stay, and severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Categorical variables were analyzed by proportional differences with the χ2 test or Fisher exact test. The t test and Wilcoxon rank sums test were used to compare continuous and ordinal variables, respectively. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for the association of exposure with outcomes of interest were estimated using unconditional logistic regression models. Results: A total of 923 premature neonates (479 boys [51.9%]; median [IQR] birth weight, 801 [668-940] g) were included, of whom 215 (23.3%) received a diagnosis of AKI using uncorrected serum creatinine. After fluid balance correction, 13 neonates with AKI were reclassified as not having fluid-corrected AKI, and 111 neonates previously without AKI were reclassified as having fluid-corrected AKI (ie, unveiled AKI). Therefore, fluid-corrected AKI was diagnosed in 313 neonates (33.9%). Neonates with unveiled AKI were similar in clinical characteristics to those with AKI whose diagnoses were made with uncorrected serum creatinine. Compared with those without AKI, neonates with unveiled AKI were more likely to require ventilation (81 neonates [75.0%] vs 254 neonates [44.3%] and have longer hospital stays (median [IQR], 102 [84-124] days vs 90 [71-110] days). In multivariable analysis, a diagnosis of fluid-corrected AKI was associated with increased odds of adverse clinical outcomes, including ventilation (adjusted OR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.56-3.18) and severe BPD (adjusted OR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.15-3.64). Conclusions and relevance: In this post hoc cohort study of premature neonates, fluid correction increased the number of premature neonates with a diagnosis of AKI and was associated with increased odds of adverse clinical outcomes, including ventilation and BPD. Failing to correct serum creatinine for fluid balance underestimates the prevalence and impact of AKI in premature neonates. Future studies should consider correcting AKI for fluid balance.
Acute Kidney Injury in Neonatal Encephalopathy: An Evaluation of the AWAKEN Database
(Springer, 2019-01) Kirkley, Megan J.; Boohaker, Louis; Griffin, Russell; Soranno, Danielle E.; Gien, Jason; Askenazi, David; Gist, Katja M.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and is associated with worse outcomes. Our objectives were to determine the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in infants with NE. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of infants ≥ 34 weeks' gestational age with a diagnosis of NE from the Analysis of Worldwide Acute Kidney injury Epidemiology in Neonates (AWAKEN) database. AKI was defined using the modified Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria. Perinatal and postnatal factors were evaluated. Multivariate logistic and linear regressions were performed. Results: One hundred and thirteen patients with NE were included. 41.6% (47) developed AKI. Being born outside the admitting institution (OR 4.3; 95% CI 1.2-14.8; p = 0.02), intrauterine growth restriction (OR 10.3, 95% CI 1.1-100.5; p = 0.04), and meconium at delivery (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.04-7.7; p = 0.04) conferred increased odds of AKI. After controlling for confounders, infants with AKI stayed in the hospital an average of 8.5 days longer than infants without AKI (95% CI 0.79-16.2 days; p = 0.03). Conclusions: In this multi-national analysis, several important perinatal factors were associated with AKI and infants with both NE and AKI had longer length of stay than NE alone. Future research aimed at early AKI detection, renoprotective management strategies, and understanding the long-term renal consequences is warranted in this high-risk group of patients.
Acute kidney injury is associated with subsequent infection in neonates after the Norwood procedure: a retrospective chart review
(SpringerLink, 2018-07) SooHoo, Megan; Griffin, Benjamin; Jovanovich, Anna; Soranno, Danielle E.; Mack, Emily; Patel, Sonali S.; Faubel, Sarah; Gist, Katja M.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and infection are common complications after pediatric cardiac surgery. No pediatric study has evaluated for an association between postoperative AKI and infection. The objective of this study was to determine if AKI in neonates after cardiopulmonary bypass was associated with the development of a postoperative infection. Methods: We performed a single center retrospective chart review from January 2009 to December 2015 of neonates (age ≤ 30 days) undergoing the Norwood procedure. AKI was defined by the modified neonatal Kidney Disease Improving Global outcomes serum creatinine criteria using (1) measured serum creatinine and (2) creatinine corrected for fluid balance on postoperative days 1-4. Infection, (culture positive or presumed), must have occurred after a diagnosis of AKI and within 60 days of surgery. Results: Ninety-five patients were included, of which postoperative infection occurred in 42 (44%). AKI occurred in 38 (40%) and 42 (44%) patients by measured serum creatinine and fluid overload corrected creatinine, respectively, and was most commonly diagnosed on postoperative day 2. The median time to infection from the time of surgery and AKI was 7 days (IQR 5-14 days) and 6 days (IQR 3-13 days), respectively. After adjusting for confounders, the odds of a postoperative infection were 3.64 times greater in patients with fluid corrected AKI (95% CI, 1.36-9.75; p = 0.01). Conclusions: Fluid corrected AKI was independently associated with the development of a postoperative infection. These findings support the notion that AKI is an immunosuppressed state that increases the risk of infection.
Acute Kidney Injury Results in Long-Term Diastolic Dysfunction That Is Prevented by Histone Deacetylase Inhibition
(Elsevier, 2021-02-22) Soranno, Danielle E.; Kirkbride-Romeo, Lara; Wennersten, Sara A.; Ding, Kathy; Cavasin, Maria A.; Baker, Peter; Altmann, Christopher; Bagchi, Rushita A.; Haefner, Korey R.; Steinkühler, Christian; Montford, John R.; Keith, Brysen; Gist, Katja M.; McKinsey, Timothy A.; Faubel, Sarah; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Growing epidemiological data demonstrate that acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Here, the authors present a 1-year study of cardiorenal outcomes following bilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury in male mice. These data suggest that AKI causes long-term dysfunction in the cardiac metabolome, which is associated with diastolic dysfunction and hypertension. Mice treated with the histone deacetylase inhibitor, ITF2357, had preservation of cardiac function and remained normotensive throughout the study. ITF2357 did not protect against the development of kidney fibrosis after AKI.
Adherence to Daily Weights and Total Fluid Orders in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018-10-10) Ahearn, Marshall A.; Soranno, Danielle E.; Stidham, Timothy; Lusk, Jennifer; Gist, Katja M.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Background: Fluid is central to the resuscitation of critically ill children. However, many pay limited attention to continued fluid accumulation. Fluid overload (FO) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The Volume Status Awareness Program (VSAP) is a multi-phase quality improvement initiative aimed at reducing iatrogenic FO. For baseline data, the authors examined a retrospective cohort of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. Methods: Cohort included diuretic-naive patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at a tertiary care children's hospital in 2014. Furosemide-exposure was used to indicate provider-perceived FO. Variables included daily weight and total fluid (TF) orders, and their timing, frequency, and adherence. Implementation of VSAP phase 1 (bundle of interventions to promote consistent use of patient weights) occurred in June 2017. Results: Forty-nine patients met criteria. Five (10%) had daily weight orders, and 41 (84%) had TF orders-although 7 of these orders followed furosemide administration. Adherence to TF orders was good with 32 (78%) patients exceeding TF limits by < 10%. Thirty (63%) had > 5% FO by day 1, and 22 (51%) had > 10% cumulative FO by day 3. Following phase 1 of the VSAP, the frequency of daily weight orders increased from 6% to 88%. Conclusions: In our institution, use of fluid monitoring tools is both inconsistent and infrequent. Early data from the VSAP project suggests simple interventions can modify ordering and monitoring practice, but future improvement cycles are necessary to determine if these changes are successful in reducing iatrogenic FO.
Advances in pediatric acute kidney injury pathobiology: a report from the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) conference
(Springer, 2024) Starr, Michelle C.; Barreto, Erin; Charlton, Jennifer; Vega, Molly; Brophy, Patrick D.; Bignall, O. N. Ray, II; Sutherland, Scott M.; Menon, Shina; Devarajan, Prasad; Arikan, Ayse Akcan; Basu, Rajit; Goldstein, Stuart; Soranno, Danielle E.; ADQI 26 workgroup; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Background: In the past decade, there have been substantial advances in our understanding of the pathobiology of pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI). In particular, animal models and studies focused on the relationship between kidney development, nephron number, and kidney health have identified a number of heterogeneous pathophysiologies underlying AKI. Despite this progress, gaps remain in our understanding of the pathobiology of pediatric AKI. Methods: During the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) Consensus conference, a multidisciplinary group of experts discussed the evidence and used a modified Delphi process to achieve consensus on recommendations for opportunities to advance translational research in pediatric AKI. The current state of research understanding as well as gaps and opportunities for advancement in research was discussed, and recommendations were summarized. Results: Consensus was reached that to improve translational pediatric AKI advancements, diverse teams spanning pre-clinical to epidemiological scientists must work in concert together and that results must be shared with the community we serve with patient involvement. Public and private research support and meaningful partnerships with adult research efforts are required. Particular focus is warranted to investigate the pediatric nuances of AKI, including the effect of development as a biological variable on AKI incidence, severity, and outcomes. Conclusions: Although AKI is common and associated with significant morbidity, the biologic basis of the disease spectrum throughout varying nephron developmental stages remains poorly understood. An incomplete understanding of factors contributing to kidney health, the diverse pathobiologies underlying AKI in children, and the historically siloed approach to research limit advances in the field. The recommendations outlined herein identify gaps and outline a strategic approach to advance the field of pediatric AKI via multidisciplinary translational research.
Advances in pediatric acute kidney injury pharmacology and nutrition: a report from the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) consensus conference
(Springer, 2024) Wong Vega, Molly; Starr, Michelle C.; Brophy, Patrick D.; Devarajan, Prasad; Soranno, Danielle E.; Akcan‑Arikan, Ayse; Basu, Rajit; Goldstein, Stuart L.; Charlton, Jennifer R.; Barreto, Erin; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Background: In the past decade, there have been substantial advances in our understanding of pediatric AKI. Despite this progress, large gaps remain in our understanding of pharmacology and nutritional therapy in pediatric AKI. Methods: During the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) Consensus Conference, a multidisciplinary group of experts reviewed the evidence and used a modified Delphi process to achieve consensus on recommendations for gaps and advances in care for pharmacologic and nutritional management of pediatric AKI. The current evidence as well as gaps and opportunities were discussed, and recommendations were summarized. Results: Two consensus statements were developed. (1) High-value, kidney-eliminated medications should be selected for a detailed characterization of their pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmaco-"omics" in sick children across the developmental continuum. This will allow for the optimization of real-time modeling with the goal of improving patient care. Nephrotoxin stewardship will be identified as an organizational priority and supported with necessary resources and infrastructure. (2) Patient-centered outcomes (functional status, quality of life, and optimal growth and development) must drive targeted nutritional interventions to optimize short- and long-term nutrition. Measures of acute and chronic changes of anthropometrics, body composition, physical function, and metabolic control should be incorporated into nutritional assessments. Conclusions: Neonates and children have unique metabolic and growth parameters compared to adult patients. Strategic investments in multidisciplinary translational research efforts are required to fill the knowledge gaps in nutritional requirements and pharmacological best practices for children with or at risk for AKI.
AKI and diastolic dysfunction: Opportunity for targeted intervention?
(Karger, 2023) Soranno, Danielle E.; Gist, Katja M.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
Background/aims: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common, results in nonrenal sequelae, and predisposes patients to long-term cardiovascular disease. The long-term systemic effects of AKI remain unclear. Sex is an important biological variable in ischemia-reperfusion AKI, and the protective role of estrogen has stymied the inclusion of both sexes in preclinical AKI studies. ITF2357 is a nonspecific histone deacetylase inhibitor that has been shown to improve cardiac outcomes in murine models of hypertension. Here, we review recent work that provides new insight into our understanding of cardiovascular sequelae following AKI. Methods: Adult male and female C57BL/6J mice underwent 25 min (males) and 34 min (females) of bilateral ischemia-reperfusion AKI or sham procedure. A male treatment arm received chow containing the nonspecific histone deacetylase inhibitor ITF2357 starting 3 days after AKI. Serial renal function, echocardiograms, and blood pressure assessments were performed throughout the 1-year study; renal histology and cardiac and plasma metabolomics were evaluated at 1 year. Results: Measured glomerular filtration rates throughout the 1-year study showed that the female model of AKI matched the male model. Untreated males developed depressed diastolic function after AKI, whereas females and males treated with ITF2357 maintained normal diastolic function. Both untreated males and females developed hypertension after AKI; males treated with ITF2357 remained normotensive. Conclusions: Ischemic AKI results in long-term cardiovascular sequelae with sex as an important biological variable in outcomes. Histone deacetylase inhibition affects cardiovascular outcomes after AKI.
